Faulkner William Intruder in the Dust

First Edition Prices, Values and Auction Results

Nobel Prize winning writer William Faulkner brings forth one of several works reflective of his Mississippi origins. Intruder in the Dust rings of uncomfortable truths in American history and attitudes in the South. Focusing on a Southern family and their life in reaction to a black man's defense when wrongly accused of murdering a white man, Faulkner taps into raw nerves and pulls the reader deeply into the experience of racism. The first edition was published in 1948 by Random House (New York) and is lettered in gilt with blue stamped "I" and "D" in title and pictorial jacket.andnbsp;Copies can range as high as $850 but is usually dependent on crisp condition of the dust jacket. Copies with an intact dust jacket but in weaker condition are accessible for about $80.
